PhillyDude Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 have no idea why? LOL After being on my job two months there are some people who I never talk during the day. If we are walking toward other there is no speaking at all. I was so shocked that one woman that was coming toward me in the hallway when I went to speak and once I saw that i never said anything. But this is nothing new because every job I had there has always been people I laughed and talked with everyday and it was those who i rarely had a conversation. Anyone else have the same experience at work? Link to post Share on other sites
Keenly Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 There is forty something people in the general area I work in and I talk to maybe 12 of them. Too big of a generational gap for me to try. Link to post Share on other sites

Too big of a generational gap for me to try. Well I knew it would be challenging because I;m the only GUY on the staff of all woman over 50. So what can I come and talk to some of them in the morning about? LOL With some of them I have chatted about 1. Food Prices 2. Local News 3. Weather Link to post Share on other sites

Got it Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Sure it happens. There is one lady here that will speak to you at one point but will then walk by you and never acknowledge you. I thought it was me at first but apparently I am not the only one. *shrug* People are weird. Gotta love them! Link to post Share on other sites

Got it Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yep, in my field I deal with the idiosyncrasies every day. It does keep the day interesting though. Link to post Share on other sites

Author PhillyDude Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Have you attempted to initiate a conversation with coworkers who don't speak to you? Yes I did. I notice that one of them had a IPhone who happened to be 20 years older than me and I figure I would try and start a conversation but it ended up being arkward Me: Is that your cell phone? I see your phone is more updated that mine I have to catch up with the time" All she did was look at me and didn't say a word. lol Link to post Share on other sites
veggirl Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 No, I'm literally everyone's favorite, everywhere I work. They always all love me, even if I don't like them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I think the people who I rarely speak to is the ones who sit nowhere near me. The ones who sit near me love being around me. Link to post Share on other sites

ChiaT Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 It is weird! This happens to me too! ...I found myself gradually not talking to people after knowing them more, especially ones who are too logical and have much different value systems than mine. Link to post Share on other sites
